Flower Power pony bead pattern
Flower Power is the pattern we hand to every first-timer. The petals are large blocks of single colors, so you can learn the string-one-row, cross-one-row rhythm without any fiddly counting.
The center is a solid yellow disc, each petal is one uninterrupted run of pink or coral, and the stem is only four columns wide. If you can thread a bead, you can finish this in an evening.
